Moated site 650m south of Beachendon Farm is a medieval defensive or domestic enclosure located in Buckinghamshire. The monument comprises a water-filled moat defining a roughly rectangular plot, a characteristic earthwork form of the 12th to 16th centuries. Such moated sites typically served as the fortified residences of minor gentry or substantial landholding families, providing both status and practical defence. The survival of the moat as an archaeological feature makes this site a valuable record of medieval settlement patterns and domestic architecture in the county.
